HIGH PERFORMANCE SERIES
Standard modules
Supercool’s thermoelectric modules for indus-
trial and commercial applications deliver the
market’s best cooling performance.
By using one or more TEMs, you can design a
cooling system with effects ranging from just
a few Watts all the way up to several hundred
Watts. With max. voltage from 0.9 V up to
30 V DC and an array of pellet geometries,
there’s every chance of finding just the right
module for your application. In the event that
our standard range doesn’t meet all your require-
ments, we offer a choice of other dimensions and
pellet geometries. Max. ∆T up to 75°C
(at Thot = 25°C).
To optimize service life, maximum warm side
temperature is 80°C.
Sealed versions
We also provide a selection of off-the-shelf stan-
dard TEMs with perimeter sealing.

HIGH PERFORMANCE SERIES
Multistage modules
Thanks to superior material characteristics we can
offer a range of truly outstanding multistage TEMs.
If your system has to generate a ∆T above 50°C, you
normally need a multistage module. Typical applica-
tions include CCD arrays, IR detectors and analytical
instruments.
If you can’t find the right TEM for your application,
feel free to put our designers to the test.
Operating temperature is max. 80°C.

HIGH TEMPERATURE & POWER MODULES
Power modules
Power modules are for applications where you need
to pump a great amount of heat onto a small surface.
We offer power density of up to 14 W/cm2. These
TEMs also provide outstanding thermal cycling
properties and can be used for applications such as
lasers, PCR cycling and thermal testing of micro-
processors.
By powering the TEMs to around half of Umax you
can use these modules to achieve exceptionally high
efficiency (COP). The porch style offers a strong lead
attachment. Operating temperature is max. 120°C.
